b. Involvement of a Remuneration Committee or another Committee on the issue of remuneration. Composition (with the distinction between Non-Executive and Independent Directors), duties and procedures; and any additional measures to avoid or manage conflicts of interest.

The current Remuneration Committee was appointed at the Board of Directors meeting of April 13, 2022 and is composed of Non-Executive Directors Carlo Pavesio (Chairperson) and Daniela Ovazza, and Non-Executive and Independent Directors Piera Braja and Francesco Calvo.

The Board, on appointment, considered that the knowledge and experience of the Independent Directors and the Non-Executive Directors called to sit on the Committee guarantees its proper functioning.

The Committee meets when called by the Chairperson of the Committee, or when requested by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors or the Board of Statutory Auditors. The work of the Committee is overseen and coordinated by the Chairperson of the Committee.

The Remuneration Committee may access the necessary information and departments for the discharge of their duties.

The proposals of the Remuneration Committee are reported in the minutes of the Remuneration Committee, in extract or in full, and in the minutes of the Board of Directors meetings at which they are drawn up.

The Remuneration Committee presents proposals or expresses opinions to the Board of Directors on the remuneration of Executive Directors and Senior Executives of the Group and periodically assesses the adequacy of the remuneration policy within the Company's strategy.

The Committee transfers to the Related Parties Committee for prior examination any proposals for the allocation of remuneration that do not comply with the Remuneration Policy most recently approved by the Shareholders, before submitting them to the Board of Directors, as well as the proposal of remuneration to Directors and Senior Executives who qualify as Related Parties of the Company. Each proposal is adopted in full compliance with the criteria of transparency and independence, taking note of the declarations of the parties who may have an interest with regard to specific decisions of the Committee.

c. How the Company has taken into account the compensation and working conditions of its employees in determining its Remuneration Policy

The Group recognises the central importance of human resources, in the firm belief that the principal factor determining the success of the business is the individual acting in an environment which supports professional and human growth. In this context, BasicNet's Remuneration Policy is determined by taking into consideration aspects of the compensation and working conditions of the Company's employees. Both respond to the aim of attracting, retaining and motivating human resources with the necessary skills to oversee and develop the Company's activities and to lay the foundations to pursue the long-term interest and sustainability of the Company.

Employees and collaborators are offered opportunities for growth based on merit, professional skills and participation in the company's development processes, including through an automatic, scheduled system that allows periodic performance evaluation and position review.

In line with BasicNet's philosophy, employees' working conditions play a decisive role, alongside compensation, in fostering a sense of belonging to the Group and building corporate identity, which in turn is recognised as a critical success factor. Working activities are carried out at sites designed to put the person at the centre, where they can enjoy a series of services and spaces that are ideal for both work and group recreation.

Additional information about BasicNet's policies regarding the management of social and Human Resourcesrelated issues can be found in the Consolidated Non-Financial Report, included in the Directors' Report, published at www.basicnet.com, Financial data/Financial Statements section.

d. Details of independent experts involved in the preparation of the Remuneration Policy

No independent experts were utilised in the preparation of the Remuneration Policy.

e. Purpose of the Remuneration Policy, its underlying principles, its duration, and, in the event of a review, a description of the changes from the Remuneration Policy last submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting and how such review takes into account the votes and evaluations cast by shareholders at that Meeting or thereafter.

BasicNet S.p.A.'s remuneration policy, described below, has been prepared with reference to the year 2024. The purpose of the Remuneration Policy is to establish in the Company's interest a remuneration that is adequate to attract, retain and motivate Executive Directors and Senior Executives with the professional qualities required to successfully oversee the management of the Company and the Group and to align the interests of the Human Resources with the pursuit of the priority objective of creating value for all stakeholders in the medium to long term.

At its meeting on March 8, 2024, having consulted the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors therefore resolved to submit to the BasicNet Shareholders' Meeting of April 16, 2024, the proposal to introduce a share-based remuneration and incentive plan to retain or attract individuals who play or will play significant roles in the pursuit of the Company's long-term interests and sustainability.

The remuneration policy, which is in line with BasicNet's Human Resources management philosophy, is centred on fostering a strong sense of belonging to the Group. This sense of belonging is fostered by and reflecting in the workplaces themselves, where offices, residences, stores and services, and gathering areas coexist. The principles underlying the Remuneration Policy follow from the Company's philosophy regarding human resource management:

• (i) fixed remuneration adequately remunerates the performance of the Executive Directors and Senior Executives identified by the Board of Directors of BasicNet S.p.A.;
• (ii) the loyalty and protection of the Group's staff is ordinarily encouraged through the development of internal professional growth, a working environment organised with an eye to following the principles of human living (residence, work and leisure) with the desire to satisfy the "basic" needs of the individual, and the recognition of employee services (e.g. free parking, discounts on purchases of company products, gyms, and museum access, catering services and home delivery of meals when working remotely, a help desk for parcel collection, and delivery service for private errands).
• (iii) potential for short-term ex-post rewards for exceptional performance, consistent with the Group's corporate culture. The Board of Directors, having consulted with the Remuneration Committee (or the Chairperson, or the Vice-Chairperson responsible for each operational function, the .com's, with reference to the other Human Resources of the Group), may grant some form of bonus to Executive Directors and/or Senior Executives (and/or to the other Human Resources of the Group), in the form of one-off payments, in relation to their specific contribution to the achievement, or the achievement, of particular strategic or management results or, even more exceptionally, with the aim of retaining resources, thus rewarding and recognising talent.

This principle involves not adopting short-term incentive systems defined in advance, so as not to make the management decision-making process overly rigid, in a company that is known for its flexibility, speed of action and reaction to seize market opportunities and protect the value generated (a choice that has always been an integral feature of the Company since it first established its organisational model);

(iv) As noted above, the Board, aware that it is equipping itself with an incentive tool in the medium to long term, intends to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting a share plan designed to improve staff loyalty.

The Company has not received guidance on the merits of the Remuneration Policy at the Shareholders' Meeting or in the Chief Executive Officer's interview with investors.

The founding criteria of the remuneration policy, as explained in more detail in the preceding sections, are in line with those of previous years.

f. Description of the policies concerning fixed and variable remuneration components, with specific regard to the identification of the related weight under the scope of total salary and the distinction between the short and medium- to long-term variable components.

Remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors.

The remuneration awarded to the Non-Executive Members of the Board of Directors for their office is fixed by the Shareholders' Meeting upon appointment.

The Board of Directors also awards compensation to Directors who serve on Committees established within the Board of Directors. Directors who are appointed Chairpersons of internal Board committees do not receive any compensation in addition to that received by members serving on Committees.

An insurance policy is in force to cover the third-party liability of the Boards of Directors (General Managers, where appointed, and Senior Executives) deriving from the exercise of their functions and aimed at indemnifying the beneficiaries and the Company from the cost of damages for compensation in that regard, excluding cases of wilful misconduct.

Remuneration of the Executive Directors.

The remuneration structure for Executive Directors makes provision for an additional fee on top of that set by the Shareholders' Meeting for all Directors, which is determined according to the powers assigned to them and the commitment required.

This remuneration, which was approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 2389 of the Civil Code, following a proposal by the Remuneration Committee and consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors, is composed of:

• a fixed remuneration, commensurate with responsibilities and deemed appropriate to remunerate the skills, experience and commitment associated with the position held by each Director/Senior Executive. The fixed component is adequate to remunerate the performance of the Director with delegated powers/Senior Executive in line with the responsibilities of his/her office. These fixed fees have been updated to reflect the increased powers and responsibilities of certain Directors within the Group;
• subject to the absence of any variable remuneration components in the Group remuneration contractual structure, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Chairperson, after consultation with the Remuneration Committee and the Related Parties Committee, reserves the right to establish an additional one-off bonus, based on particular results achieved for the sustainable success of the business, or for retention purposes.
• Should the Shareholders' Meeting on April 16, 2024 approve the proposal to establish a remuneration plan based on the free grant of shares, the Executive Directors could be beneficiaries.

g. Policy in relation to non-monetary benefits.

In addition to the fixed component, a number of non-monetary benefits may be conferred, such as, for example, life or health insurance policies for Executive Directors and Senior Executives. In addition, the Chairperson of BasicNet S.p.A., for the duration of his/her mandate, is granted use of a property located within the "BasicVillage" in Turin called "Foresteria – loft People on the move." The Company provides Human Resources with the use of company-owned vehicles, including for non-exclusive private use.

h. With reference to the variable components, a description of the performance and financial and nonfinancial targets, and where appropriate taking into account the criteria relating to corporate social responsibility, on the basis of which they are assigned, distinguishing between short-term and medium/long-term variable components, and information on the link between the change in results and the change in remuneration.

The Board meeting of March 8, 2024 also approved the submission to the Shareholders' Meeting of a remuneration plan called the "2024-2027 Stock Grant," to be executed through the free allocation of shares, as an incentivisation and retention tool for those individuals who - in the opinion of the implementing executive board - may be considered strategic for the Company in contributing to its growth, development and value creation. Subject to and upon the outcome of the relevant Shareholders' Meeting approval, this instrument would introduce a variable component of medium- to long-term remuneration from 2024.

The means of implementing the Plan are established by the Executive Board, understood as the Company's Board of Directors or one or more of its members to whom the Board of Directors has delegated, in whole or in part, the implementation of the Plan pursuant to the Shareholders' Meeting resolution.

The plan that is the subject of the Board of Directors' proposal has the following features:

• its purpose is the free grant of a maximum total of 2,000,000 (two million) Rights granting Beneficiaries the right to receive a maximum total of 2,000,000 (two million) BasicNet Shares, subject to the fulfilment of the Vesting Conditions.
• the Beneficiaries are the Employees and Directors of the Company and Subsidiaries, as identified from time to time by the Executive Board;
• the number of Rights to be granted to each Beneficiary under the Plan will be determined by the Delegated Board on the basis of, among other criteria: the significance of their role within the Group; the importance of maintaining the relationship with the Beneficiary; the Beneficiary's contribution to the Company's value creation; the Beneficiary's talent and potential; and the Beneficiary's expertise and knowledge of the sector in which the Group operates;
• the Vesting Conditions may be set within a minimum period of two years and a maximum of five years;
• the vesting of the Rights is subject to the Vesting Conditions established for each Beneficiary, at the discretion of the Executive Board. The Conditions may consist of the retention target alone or may include, along with the retention target, performance and/or personal and/or sustainability targets;
• it is divided into four Performance Periods that may last a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years each. Rights may be granted during the periods indicated below:
  • − by December 31, 2024 (First Grant Period); and thereafter
  • − by December 31, 2025 (Second Grant Period); and thereafter
  • − by December 31, 2026 (Third Grant Period); and thereafter
  • − by December 31, 2027 (Fourth Grant Period).

The allocation of the Shares to the beneficiary will be subject to verification that the Targets set out in the Grant Letter have been achieved.

The plan does not provide for lock-up or clawback clauses.

The 2024-2027 Plan disclosure document, drawn up as per Article 84-bis and Annex 3A, Table 7 of the Issuers' Regulation, is available on the Company website www.basicnet.com.

i. Criteria used to assess the performance targets underlying the grant of shares, options, other financial instruments or other variable components of remuneration, specifying the extent of the variable components to be paid according to the level of achievement of the objectives

At the date of approval of this report, the Group has not launched any incentive plans based on the allocation of financial instruments or other variable components of any kind upon achievement of performance targets.

For information regarding the Share Plan, see letter h) above.

j. Information highlighting the contribution of the Remuneration Policy, and in particular the policy on variable remuneration components, the Company's strategy, the pursuit of long-term interests and the sustainability of the Company.

The structure of fixed remuneration is designed to lead to responsible conduct geared towards the sustainable development of the business, pursuing medium/long-term interests on the basis of corporate strategies, enabling action to be rapidly redirected in the face of unforeseen events or opportunities. This approach avoids the rigidity that goes with incentivising conduct by concluding contracts containing predetermined and specific objectives to which variable remuneration is linked. The fixed remuneration is in line with the market and the powers assigned in the context of the specific organisational structures used by the Company and the actual commitment required, and does not need to be supplemented with shortterm variable components in order to be considered adequate. This remuneration strategy creates participation and tension in the achievement of the Company's results by nurturing the sense of belonging to the Group which, as highlighted above, is the pillar of BasicNet's strong identity and corporate culture, which in turn drives the Company's sustainability. Any variable fees are awarded after the fact and on a one-off basis, following the achievement of particularly positive results aimed at increasing the medium/long-term growth prospects of the Company or ensuring its ability to remain in the market.

In the same vein, and as explained in paragraph h) above, the Board's proposal to approve a remuneration plan to be enacted through the free allocation of shares as an incentive and loyalty-building tool seeks to engage individuals who may be strategic for the Company in contributing to its growth, development and the creation of sustainable value in the medium to long term.

k. Vesting periods, any systems of deferred payment and indexing of deferred payments and the criteria utilised for the determination of these periods and, if established, ex-post correction mechanisms of the variable component (malus or clawback).

There are no contractual clauses allowing the Company to ask for the repayment, in full or in part, of variable components of the remuneration paid, including in light of the anticipated allocation of any portion of additional remuneration ex post, on the basis of audited financial statements approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

l. Clauses for the maintenance in portfolio of financial instruments after their acquisition: maintenance periods and criteria utilised for the establishment of this period.

This provision is not applicable to the Group's remuneration policies.

For information regarding the Share Plan, see letter h) above.

m. Policy relating to benefits on termination of office, with specification of the circumstances giving rise to such rights and any link between this benefit and the Company performance.

The Board, on the indication of the Shareholders' Meeting, and where the Meeting itself has not decided, establishes the amount of Termination Indemnity through an annual allocation, also provided through a leading insurance company, on behalf of the Company, of an insurance policy, related to an annual constant premium of an amount equalling the amount of the post-employment benefit, in favour of the Chairperson. The Board of Directors has the power to issue any non-competition agreements with the Executive Directors for a specific period following the conclusion of their mandate, providing for appropriate remuneration for this in line with market practices.

n. Insurance coverage, social security or pension payments, other than obligatory payments.

Insurance coverage, social security or pension payments, other than the obligatory payments, are not provided for, with the exception of any non-monetary benefits represented by life or supplementary health policies.

A third-party D&O - Directors' & Officers' Liability civil liability policy covers the Directors, Statutory Auditors and Executives for circumstances relating to the exercise of their functions, excluding incidences of fraud. This concerns insurance cover (structurally not consisting of consideration) signed independently of the Company for the benefit of all Group Directors and Statutory Auditors in office.

o. Remuneration policy, if any, adopted for (i) Independent Directors; (ii) committee membership; and (iii) Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Vice-Chairpersons

Independent Directors do not receive compensation that differs from the remuneration for their office paid to the other members of the Board of Directors.

The remuneration of the Control and Risks Committees is decided by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors. The remuneration of the Remuneration Committee is decided by the Board of Directors, having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors. There is no additional remuneration for Chairpersons of the internal Board committees.

The Chairperson of the Board of Directors receives significantly higher remuneration than the other Directors (executive and non) in view of the powers delegated and of the importance of the specific and autonomous role compared to that of the other Directors in relation to the direction and governance oversight on driving sustainable growth, and thus in view of the powers, duties and responsibilities entrusted to the Chairperson's office.

Vice-Chairpersons who are also Chief Executive Officers for this term of office receive remuneration in line with that of the other Executive Directors, which also takes into account the operational powers they hold in the Group's strategic companies.

p. Remuneration policy established using the policies of other companies as a benchmark, and the criteria utilised for the choice of these companies.

For the setting of the remuneration policy, BasicNet did not refer to the remuneration policies of other companies.

q. Exceptions from the Remuneration Policy in the presence of exceptional circumstances, and subject to the provisions of Regulation No. 17221 of March 12, 2010, any further procedural conditions under which departures may be applied.

Given the lack of ex-ante definition of short-term variable remuneration components and mechanisms for their recognition, the assignment of any bonuses or additional fixed remuneration components, including the assignment of non-monetary benefits to Directors and Senior Executives, represents a departure from the Remuneration Policy. This departure is implemented by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, the Related Parties Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors

The Remuneration Policy for the Board of Statutory Auditors provides for a fixed fee approved by the Shareholders' Meeting upon appointment. The remuneration takes into account the responsibilities and commitment of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and any in-depth analysis of the quantification of the commitment required, submitted by the outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors in view of the Shareholders' Meeting called to determine the remuneration of the Board. There are no variable compensation components in favour of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

A third-party D&O - Directors' & Officers' Liability civil liability policy covers the corporate bodies and the Executives for circumstances relating to the exercise of their functions, excluding incidences of fraud. This concerns insurance cover (structurally not consisting of consideration) signed independently of the Company for the benefit of all Group Directors and Statutory Auditors in office.
